Subject: [CHAT] OT - This is serious
Ok guys, now this is serious stuff.<br><br>A lawyer of the Defense
Department, William J. Haynes II, who authored a memo<br>concluding that
the President wasn't bound by laws prohibiting torture and<br>that
government agents who might torture prisoners at his direction could
not<br>be<br>prosecuted by the Justice Department, has been nominated by
Bush for a<br>LIFETIME APPOINTMENT as a FEDERAL
JUDGE.<br><br>http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0607-01.htm<br><br>I
think you'll agree that anyone reaching that conclusion, or even making
an<br>attempt to craft such an argument, has no business being a Federal
Judge for<br>life. Please scroll down to the website below and sign the
petition blocking<br>this appointment.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Eva<br>Long
Island, NY<br>Zone 6/7<br><br>* * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br><br>Dear
Friend,<br>I just signed on to a petition with People For the American
Way, asking<br>President George W. Bush to withdraw his nomination of
William Haynes to a<br>lifetime<br>seat on the 4th Circuit Court of
Appeals. William Haynes is none other than<br>the General Counsel for
the Department of Defense b the lawyer who helped<br>design the
administrationbs detention and enemy combatant policies.<br>Do you want
such a person deciding what is constitutional as a federal
judge?<br>Join me in calling on Bush to withdraw this nomination.
Putting a lawyer<br>linked to the Abu Ghraib policies on the federal
bench is so outrageous, Bush<br>needs to hear a loud and clear message
on this one!<br>Go here and sign

American Way contact information:<br>Email Address: pfaw@pfaw.org<br>If
